Deepika Singh aka Sandhya from Diya aur Baati Hum has
approached the CINTAA (Cine and TV Artistes' Association) for
non-payment of dues. She is involved in a dispute with her show's
producers Shashi and Sumeet Mittal.

The producers have apparently sent her a debit note of INR 16 lakh
to her because she reports late to the sets and because of this delay,
the makers have to bear expenses. They have also refused to pay her
outstanding dues of INR 1.14 crore.

Amit
Behl, joint secretary of CINTAA and the chairperson of the Dispute
Settlement Committee, told a leading daily, "We have received a
complaint from Deepika and have forwarded it to IFTPC (Indian Film and
TV Producers Council). We are awaiting a date from the Joint Dispute
Settlement Committee for a meeting between CINTAA, IFTPC, Deepika and
Shashi-Sumeet." When the daily contacted Deepika, she said, "The media
is not the platform to debate such matters."
